Alongside the regular sedan and estate versions of the facelifted XF, Jaguar is also working on the long wheelbase model, which was recently spied testing for the first time.
Likely retaining the XF L moniker, it sports longer rear doors and offers more space between the two axles, resulting in additional legroom for rear passengers. That’s a feature much appreciated among Chinese consumers for which the XF L is made.
On the visual front, expect the same revisions as the regular sedan, meaning new bumpers at both ends, revised lighting signature and perhaps some tweaks to the grille and boot lid. The more modern styling should be enhanced by an updated color palette and new wheels.
In all likelihood, the 2021 Jaguar XF, alongside the XF Sportbrake (estate) and XF L, will boast more upgrades inside, with the key focus being on new tech. As a result, it should welcome a new secondary screen for the HVAC system, updated infotainment and instrument cluster, and probably a new steering wheel. Fresh upholstery and trim options are likely to round out the changes.
We can expect a few engine revisions as well, with reports claiming that the 3.0-liter mild-hybrid gasoline unit rated at 395 HP (400 PS) will be introduced to the lineup.
Elsewhere, we will have to wait a few months to find out everything about it and see the changes in an official environment. Jag’s rival for the BMW 5-Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Audi A6 and Volvo S90 is understood to premiere in the second half of the year.
